A person who dramatises or adapts stories and works into dramatic or theatrical form; a playwright or adapter.
From dramatise plus -er (suffix meaning 'one who does'), following the standard English agent noun pattern.
The existence of both 'dramatiser' and 'playwright' shows how English sometimes has two words for the same job—but 'dramatiser' emphasizes adaptation while 'playwright' sounds more artistic!
